Good Deeds

Philippians 2:13 Yes, it is God who is working in you. He helps you want to do what pleases him, and he gives you the power to do it.

Great gestures are not always the ones on which you spend a significant amount of money.  We are God’s hands on the earth. The good things we do reflect the Father who sent us.  Jesus spoke of little things that were actually significant. He taught about the grain of mustard seed that turns into a great tree, the widow’s mite, which He considered a substantial gift, a cup of cold water that yields a reward, and one lost coin whose purpose is unfulfilled, that is sought after diligently.

What would the world be like if we all practiced little gestures of goodness daily?  How would life change if we prayed for our neighbors and those less fortunate than us? What impact could we have on the world if we purposely did one good deed every day?

Indeed, the world can be changed by great benevolent gifts or mega food giveaways, but it can also be changed by small gestures. I challenge you to do one good deed today. The kingdom of Heaven is expanded when we do good in the earth.  Our capacity to do good expands as we exercise it.  Remember, God is working in you to help you do what pleases Him, and He gives you the power to do it.
